La Villanella by Steven Sametz

A spirited arrangement of an Italian folksong. A villanella is a 16th century form of vocal music that had an impact on the later madrigal form. The word play present in the work is typical of the style. Sametz’s arrangement plays into this aspect of the text. Approximate performance time: 3 min. Year composed: 1996 Commissioned by Chanticleer Text Varda che passa La villanella! Osce che bella Fainamorar! Refrain: O come bali bene bela bimba,  Bela bimba, bela bimba bali ben! Varda quel Vecio Soto la scala, Osce che bala ch’el ga ciapa! Marda quel merlo Dentro la gabbia, Osce che rabbia ch’el ga ciapa! Translation Look who is walking by The village girl! O how beautiful she is She’ll make you fall in love! Refrain: Oh how well you dance, Beautiful girl, Beautiful girl, you dance so well! Look at the old man Sitting under the stairs What a story he has got! Look at the crow In the birdcage O how mad she is! Related
